Oversættelse 1:

8000 arguments

An American husband had made a list of all the arguments in his marriage.
He had argued with his wife about 8000 times in the 40 years they had been married.
There where many different reasons to the arguments.
About 1900 times they had started, because his wife didn’t made that food he wanted, or because the food was too cold or too hot.
1450 times the arguments have started, because his wife wanted more money for the housekeeping. Almost 1000 times, because he had entered the house in dirty shoes, just after she had washed the floor. And almost 800 times, because she forgot to put clean towers out, sew his buttons on or take care that his shaving water was warm enough. 8 times because he had been too hard to the cat. It only happened once that he had been running after another woman.
In spite of the many disagreements declares both husband and wife that their marriage has been happy.


8000 skænderier

En amerikansk ægtemand har lavet en liste over alle skænderierne i sit ægteskab.
Han havde skændtes med sin kone ca. 8000 gange i de 40 år, de havde været gift.
Der var mange forskellige grunde til skænderierne. Ca. 1900 gange var de begyndt, fordi hans kone ikke havde lavet den mad, han ønskede, eller fordi maden var for kold eller for varm. 1450 gange var skænderierne startet, fordi hans kone ønskede flere husholdningspenge. Næsten 1000 gange, fordi han var kommet ind i huset med snavsede sko, efter at hun lige havde vasket gulvet. Og næsten 800 gange, fordi hun havde glemt at lægge rene håndklæder frem, sy hans knapper i eller sørge for, at hans barbervand var varmt nok. 8 gange var grunden, at han havde været for hård mod katten. Det var kun sket én gang, at de var blevet uvenner, fordi han var løbet efter en anden kvinde.
Til trods for de mange uoverensstemmelser erklærer både mand og kone, at deres ægteskab har været lykkeligt.

Oversættelse 2:

The car

For 75 years ago many progressive people dreamed about owning a car.
But dreams and reality are two very different things. Only the richest had money enough to buy one.
Cars where seldom.
Old people in the country where terrified, when they saw or just heard one of though terrible machines. They made a horrible noise; they stank, and they moved so fast, that the eye couldn’t follow them. No wonder that horses and other animals ran away in panic, when the machines came. Some people thought, it was the devil itself, which had create the monsters, and that they came from the hell. The Day of Judgement must be near.
But maybe the old farmers wasn’t that stupid; maybe they where right - in a way.
Today there are several families, who have more than one car. Cars are everywhere.
And today many thinks that the car really are a monster. It kills us, pollutes our air, make us fat and lazy, eats our money, drinks our expensive oil, destroys the nature and our cities, because we have to make roads, streets and parking spaces to it everywhere.
Maybe the devil is laughing somewhere!

Bilen

For 75 år siden drømte mange fremskridtsvenlige mennesker om at eje en bil. Men drøm og virkelighed er to meget forskellige ting. Kun de rigeste havde penge nok til at købe en.
Gamle folk på landet var rædselsslagne, når de så eller bare hørte en af de frygtelige maskiner. De lavede en forfærdelig larm; de stank, og de bevægede sig så hurtigt, at øjet ikke kunne følge dem. Intet under at heste og andre dyr flygtede i panik, når de kom. Nogle troede, at det var djævlen selv, som havde skabt uhyrene, og at de kom fra helvede. Verdens undergang måtte være nær!
Men måske var de gamle bønder ikke så dumme; måske havde de ret - på en måde.
I dag er der adskillige familier, som har mere end én bil. Der er biler overalt.
Og i dag mener mange, at bilen virkelig er et uhyre. Den slår os ihjel, forurener vores luft, gør os fede og dovne, æder vores penge, drikker vores dyre benzin, ødelægger naturen og vore byer, fordi vi må lave veje, gader og parkeringspladser til den overalt.
Måske sidder djævlen et sted og griner!

Pyyyha det var godt nok noget af en mundfuld at lave...
